Choosing the Right Entity Structure for Your Business

Selecting the correct legal structure for your business is one of the most important decisions you'll make as an entrepreneur. It affects everything from how much you pay in taxes to your personal liability, ability to raise capital, and day-to-day operations.

At Elevation Tax, we help you navigate this decision with clarity and confidence.

Why Entity Structure Matters

The right entity structure can:

  • Minimize your tax liability
  • Protect your personal assets
  • Simplify compliance and reporting
  • Support your long-term business goals

Choosing the wrong structure can lead to unnecessary taxes, legal exposure, and administrative headaches.

Common Business Entity Types

  • Sole Proprietorship
    Simple and inexpensive, but offers no liability protection.
  • Partnership
    Ideal for businesses with multiple owners, but liability can be shared.
  • Limited Liability Company (LLC)
    Offers flexibility and liability protection, with options for how you are taxed.
  • S-Corporation
    Allows profits to pass through to owners while avoiding double taxation.
  • C-Corporation
    Best for businesses planning to raise capital or go public, but subject to double taxation.
